You could discuss all the intangibles that top-level quarterbacks possess, or you can simply locate some game film of Carlisle's victory over Mechanicsburg on Friday night and let Herd QB Billy Burger provide you with answers.

Burger connected on 20 of 31 pass attempts for 284 yards and two touchdowns at Frederick Field as Carlisle picked up a well-earned 43-28 decision over the Wildcats. Burger also put his toughness and ability to scramble on display with a 40-yard scoring run.

It would seem Burger's effort was appreciated by a record-setting number of PennLive voters, too, as 6,801 clicks for the 6-1, 170-pound leader made him our Week 1 Superstar. In all, 22,845 votes were cast for our week 1 set of standouts, with Burger hauling in nearly 30-percent of the vote.
